Hmmm. Very interesting thought. I was raised religious so the first real exposure to sex I got was porn so perhaps that is the reason it was so problematic for me later on. Haven't thought of it that way before. Not sure I totally agree that porn doesn't cause any issues but I now see how it is very individual in terms of how it affects people. Like if some people take it too seriously and literally, or if there only exposure to sex is by porn, than it is much more of an issue.
I'm not religious and never have been but apart from the very sterile scientific views we were taught at school my first exposure about sex was also porn. I think it was the same for many teens in the era in which I grew up. It wasn't difficult to happen across pornorgraphic material left around the place. I think religion definitively plays into the way you see it though because relgious people have very particular views about sexuality. It is seen as something sinful outside of marriage etc. I don't feel ashamed about sex at all. I believe that it's just a primal instinct and you just get off however you can as long as it is mutually consenting between adults then it's all good. Moderation is key.
Well thats good to know. My parents actually held me out of our schools sex ed because they wanted to impress their 'Christian' perspective on me. Perhaps this is why porn caused problems for me which other people have also commented. Moderation is key, I agree because too much can definently warp your view too much.
